How is it that a buyer can win 4 or more bits, all closing at the SAME TIME...??

[perickles780]

 the winning bits was posted 2-3 secs before closing !??

The winner was not amongst the 8 first bidders, so he could not have had an automatic/maximum bid posted.

Are honest ordinairy bidders left out in the cold because ITsavy bidders have their computers doing the bidding ??

PS.. most experienced ebayers snipe with their MAX bid as close to auction's end as possible.

Sniping or not it is the highest bid that wins. Placing bids guided by what you see as the auction progresses( nibbling) will often produce an unsatisfactory outcome.

Place items on your myebay watch list and bid the most you are prepared to pay as time winds down.
